sooooo........ 10 Months ago  
whats the brass plug that is right below the PMS screw tower (towards the float bowl, on the same height level of the float bowl) and how important is it? as in, if i thought I was drilling to get to the pms screw, and drilled a pretty big divot in to said brass plug before i realized that the PO had already pulled out the REAL plug for the pms and the screw was exposed...... Is that going to be a be deal? I didn't manage to get all the way through the brass..... Yes I'm an idiot.

I think that circuit has something to do with the enrichner, If you didn't get all the way thru it should be OK. I would fill the divot with some JB weld...

What FB said or solder it back to level and file it flat again. Your not the first one to make that mistake.

Re:sooooo........ 10 Months ago  
For the people that did the same thing: Do you remember about how far in to it you got? I got pretty freaking far in before I realized what was going on. I didn't get through that's for sure, I filled it with JB Weld so I'm not too too worried. Just curious if people made little divots and figured it out or punched a pretty big hole in the thing like I did.
